November 9-11: The Lane County Sheriff requested
PMR to join in the search for a hiker missing since the previous weekend
in the Three Sisters Wilderness east of
Eugene. The subject is a 63 year old college professor, familiar with day
hiking in the area. He was apparently lightly prepared, intending to return the
same day. Another hiking group had reported seeing him returning from the
summit towards the trail-head.

PMR sent teams on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, prepared to
help search steeper terrain around
OlallieMountain.
The teams participated by hiking trails and ridge-tops where a lost
hiker might try to reach, and also searched forest and steep slopes
along the Olallie trail for indications of anyone leaving
the path to the summit. While weather was favorable on Friday,
conditions deteriorated for Saturday and Sunday, including rain, sleet, wind,
and cooler temperatures.
